Searching for a quick way to make $1,000 while living out your food dreams? Look no further than Farmer Boys' inaugural "Bacon Internship."

The West Coast burger chain is offering one pork connoisseur the chance to taste test its bacon as part of a one of a kind one-day internship.

Farmer Boys' newest employee will be paid $1,000 to taste the chain's bacon-loaded menu items, such as the Bacon Boy, Farmer's Burger, Bacon Breakfast Burrito, and Farmer's Chopped Cobb Salad, in one flavor-filled day.

The intern will be tasked with rating each strip of bacon thrown their way based on flavor and thickness, and will even have the opportunity to try some dishes that have yet to hit the chain's menus.

Starting Tuesday, bacon lovers can make a bid for the world's juiciest, crispiest gig by posting a "fun and engaging photo or video" to Instagram that details why they would be a good fit for the internship.

To apply, pork enthusiasts who are at least 18 years old must have their accounts set to public and tag @FarmerBoysFoods in their post, which must feature the hashtag #FarmerBoysBaconIntern in the caption.

All entries must be submitted by Tuesday, August 20, to be considered and applicants must be willing to commute to Southern California in the event that they are selected for the day-long internship.
